Chocolate Peppermint Snaps (Think Thin Mints)

With the Girl Scouts starting their rounds, I thought I would try a take on the most popular cookie ever – Thin Mints. Personally, I think they are best when they are in the freezer. So, I tried to make these chocolate peppermint snaps which were surprisingly close to a thin mint. There are semi-chocolate chips in there, so the texture is not 100% close. It is a nice packable cookie that is made in only one bowl. Pay attention to the time they are baked – if taken out too early the cookies are soft instead of crisp. Better yet, test 3 cookies in the oven to perfect the baking time.

I did put them in, however, the candy canes that I had crushed kind of “melted” into the cookie and didn’t look as pretty as I was hoping. That is why I didn’t include them… just like adding sprinkles. You can take them or leave ’em. I would advise putting crushed candy canes on last minute in the baking process. I think I crushed like 3-4 mini candy canes and didn’t use all of it because I only put them on half the cookies as an experiment. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
